The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#833 - Take a shower and go to bed

Stone had only come to guide them, but somehow he was suddenly caught up in saving the world.

Moreover, these people talked about saving the world, but in reality, they were just wandering around Bai Longbo like headless flies.

Indeed, in Stone's view, the most absurd part of the whole thing was that Lu Jing and the others didn't even know where they were going.

Every day, after the sun went down and the starry river shone overhead, the seemingly drowsy old man would fiddle with his strange instruments, while also writing and drawing on the ground.

And Lu Jing would open the large box containing the Brahman Heaven on time, and have a friendly exchange with the bronze statue inside, finally determining where to go the next day.

In the first few days, their direction was fixed.

But on the seventh day, a sudden deviation occurred, fortunately only a slight adjustment compared to the previous direction.

By the twelfth day, the deviation was more significant, turning directly from northwest to southwest.

After another six days, things started to become increasingly absurd.

It also confirmed to Stone that these people were just wandering around in the desert, because they actually turned around and headed back in the direction of Wulan City.

However, this time they only walked for half a day before stopping.

It wasn't until the evening, after Professor Xu observed the stars again, that he overturned his previous conclusion and pointed out a new direction.

This time, even Lu Jing couldn't take it anymore, and after considering his words for a long time, he said, "Old man, is it possible that you… miscalculated?"

Professor Xu glanced at Lu Jing and said, "I calculated it twice this time at your request, and then I had An Shi help me check it, so there's no mistake."

"Then why is it so different from the previous direction?" Lu Jing asked doubtfully.

Professor Xu's eyes flickered, "The starry sky here is a bit strange."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Jing looking at him with a hesitant expression.

Professor Xu immediately understood what someone was thinking, and said unhappily, "I'm not making excuses for myself, nor am I as stubborn as you think…"

"You mean to say that someone doesn't want us to find the bead and has artificially interfered to change the position of the stars, but that's a bit too outrageous…"

Lu Jing looked incredulous, "Even if you pulled out the existence who imprisoned that dragon back then, they shouldn't have such means."

Lu Jing, who had taken junior high school geography, knew better than anyone else how far away those twinkling little things hanging in the night sky were.

Not to mention moving a planet from such a distance, even those cultivation novels wouldn't dare to write it like that.

"Moving the original position of the stars is of course impossible," Professor Xu also said, "but using some means to affect the observer might be possible."

Professor Xu was completely confused.

At this time, the little Taoist Xie Anshi suddenly said, "It's like when we look at chopsticks inserted in water, the chopsticks will be refracted, as if they are broken, but in fact, after taking out the chopsticks, we find that the chopsticks are not broken, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's what it means." Lu Jing nodded, and muttered, "If someone really added a罩zi in the sky above this Gobi, then his physics must be good."

"But in that case, wouldn't that star map be useless?" Kui said, "Didn't that person leave this star map hoping that someone could find the bead?"

Everyone was puzzled by this question, and no one answered.

Finally, a chuckle came from the wooden box.

Lu Jing opened the wooden box and looked at the Brahman Heaven who had come back to life, "Do you know the reason?"

However, Brahman Heaven closed his mouth again at this time.

"Speak, what do you want." Lu Jing said directly.

"A sacrifice." Brahman Heaven licked his lips, "I have helped you point the way for so many days, but you haven't given me anything, so it's not too much for me to make this request now, right?"

As Brahman Heaven spoke, his eyes swept over Stone, causing the latter to shiver.

"As a reward, how about I break your remaining two legs too?" Lu Jing said lightly, "I don't think you can use them anyway."

"Threats are useless to me." Brahman Heaven shook his head and smiled, "I am only descending into this bronze statue, and I can't feel any pain even if you destroy the bronze statue."

Lu Jing couldn't refute.

Although he knew that the bronze statue in front of him was just a strange object and did not truly carry the will of Brahman Heaven, and that death was death, the latter, as a strange object, obviously would never realize this.

So the other party really wouldn't care about his threat.

Seeing that Lu Jing didn't speak and seemed to be lost in thought, Brahman Heaven continued to lure him, "You said you want to save the world, I like what you are doing, usually in such stories everyone in the team will have a use, and some people's use is to sacrifice for this world."

His words made Stone's skin crawl.

He couldn't help but take a few steps back, but the young man immediately reacted. This was Bai Longbo, a dead world ruled by wind and sand. Even if he turned around and ran away now, he would not be able to save his life at all.

Because once he left the team and lost the water and dry food on the camel, he would not be able to last for a few days.

In other words, his life or death now was entirely at Lu Jing's discretion.

And Lu Jing didn't speak for a long time, so everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Seemingly wanting to see how he would choose.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Lu Jing's mind. Exchanging the life of an irrelevant person for the whereabouts of the bead was indeed a very cost-effective deal.

Although it was a bit unfair to Stone himself, seeing that the world was about to be destroyed, now was obviously not the time to be benevolent.

Since ancient times, those who can achieve great things must be ruthless when they should be ruthless.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jing spoke again.

"If you don't want to talk, shut up and go to bed early."

A look of disappointment appeared in Brahman Heaven's only remaining eye, "You can't save the world if you are so indecisive."

"Forget it, I would be falling into your trap if I gave him to you." Lu Jing said, "After that, you will only keep trying to lower my bottom line."
